Technique : Sculpting with polished natural wood to form two root-like hands extending from a shared wooden frame; incorporating a golden metal chain and a flower-shaped medallion as symbolic elements of empathy and human connection. The wooden frame unifies the composition. The technique emphasizes the integration of organic forms, clear symbolism, and precise composition to convey a message of solidarity.

Two wooden, root-like hands extend toward each other from within a shared frame, joined at the center by a golden chain holding a flower-shaped medallion. Not made of gold, but of kindness. *Medal of Kindness* celebrates the nobility of compassion, the beauty of mutual support, and the value that emerges from unity. Rather than glorifying individual heroism, the piece honors collective humanity — a medal of empathy, not competition.
